As seen in this article, “A Superior Court Family Division
judge has ruled that a set of out-of-state grandparents cannot adopt a
3-year-old Morris County girl and went further, likening the adoption complaint
to ‘the absurd scenario’ of a babysitter entrusted to care for a child trying
to institute adoption proceedings.” Jan Bernstein was appointed by the Morris
County New Jersey Superior Court (Family Division) to represent the biological
father in this case. Ms. Bernstein stated, “This child was never available for
adoption. It’s been a long road for the parents to untangle it all. They are two really involved parents and the
child is beautifully cared for.”
